Balance of trade
The balance of trade is a crucial component of the international balance of payments. It measures the value of a country's exports minus the value of its imports. A positive balance of trade indicates that a country is exporting more goods and services than it is importing, while a negative balance of trade indicates the opposite.

国际经济学课程双语教学的实践与思考

国际经济学课程双语教学的实践与思考

国际经济学课程双语教学的实践与思考一、双语教学定义加拿大学者Miguel Siguan与Willianm F. Mackey认为,双语教学即以两种语言作为媒介,其中一种语言常常是(但不一定是)学生的第一语言。

如果仅仅使用一种语言进行教学,即使这种语言并非是学生的第一语言,也不能视为双语教学。

根据《朗曼应用语言学词典》,双语教学定义为“The use of a second or foreign language in school for the tea ching of content subjects”,即在学校使用第二语言或一门外语进行各门学科的教学。

在我国“双语教学就是以母语以外的另外一种语言直接应用于语言学科以外的其他各种学科的教学,使第二语言的学习与各个学科知识的获取同步进行”。

因此在我国,经济学的双语教学就是以英语为工具学习西方经济学的内容,具有经济学专业知识学习和提高英语水平的双重目标。

二、经济学双语教学实践我校合作项目的两个专业,共设有23门课程,中丹双方共同承担教学培养任务,使用英文原版教材进行全英语教学。

其中经济学是国际商务和国际金融两个专业方向的专业基础课,也是学生需要掌握的重要经济理论工具。

1.课程安排为了使学生能够循序渐进的适应经济学的双语教学,在大一年级给学生开经济学入门,教材是国内学者编写的。

第四学期使用曼昆的英文版教材学习宏观经济学基础理论,第五到第七学期使用John Sloman 编写的经济学英文原版教材学习微观、宏观和国际经济学内容。

(见表1)表1 经济学课程安排经济学是一门有各种经济变量关系联结在一起的具有很强逻辑关系的学科,数学知识被普遍运用,因此经济学双语教学有着一定的难度,教学模式的选择要根据学生外语水平高低和课程难易程度来确定(见图1)。

我校合作项目在经济学双语教学上采取了以下模式:对于刚入学的新生,英语水平低和相关的专业缺乏,这个时期的教学模式应该是过渡式,也就是说教师首先介绍经济学的一些英文专业词汇,如Economics (经济学) 、Demand (需求)、Elasticity(弹性)等,另外可以介绍名词的英文定义。

I m a Computer Science student. Recently, I took an economics course titled "International Trade". This book is the text book for our class. I found it very easy and clear to understand ( there is no doubt that you really need to have a very solid Idea about macro and micro economics before reading this kind of a book). The book is deep enough to serve as an educational media, it is no to little and not too much. I recommend this book

This most basic model of trade involves two countries, two goods, and one factor of production, labor. Differences in relative labor productivity across countries give rise to international trade. This Ricardian model, simple as it is, generates important insights concerning comparative advantage and the gains from trade. These insights are necessary foundations for the more complex models presented in later chapters.The text exposition begins with the examination of the production possibility frontier and the relative prices of goods for one country. The production possibility frontier is linear because of the assumption of constant returns to scale for labor, the sole factor of production. The opportunity cost of one good in terms of the other equals the price ratio since prices equal costs, costs equal unit labor requirements times wages, and wages are equal in each industry.Unit 2Step 1 Review 复习( 5 Minutes)The concept of comparative advantageStep 2 Lead-in 新课导入( 10 Minutes)How to describe the Ricardian model?Step 3 New Class Content 新课内容( 85 Minutes)A one-factor economy(i)Assumptions (ii) Production possibilities (iii)Relative prices and supply.Trade in a one-factor world(ⅰ)Determining the relative price after trade 1.

General equilibrium relative supply and demand curves are developed. This analysis demonstrates that at least one country will specialize in production. The gains from trade are then demonstrated with a graph and a numerical example. The intuition of indirect production, that is "producing" a good by producing the good for which a country enjoys a comparative advantage and then trading for the other good, is an appealing concept to emphasize when presenting the gains from trade argument. Students are able to apply the Ricardian theory of comparative advantage to analyze three misconceptions about the advantages of free trade. Each of the three "myths" represents a common argument against free trade and the flaws of each can be demonstrated in the context of examples already developed in the chapter.While the initial intuitions are developed in the context of a two good model, it is straightforward to extend the model to describe trade patterns when there are N goods. This analysis can be used to explain why a small country specializes in the production of a few goods while a large country specializes in the production of many goods. The chapter ends by discussing the role that transport costs play in making some goods non-traded.英文课程名称Chapter ThreeS pecific Factors and Income Distribution(特定要素模型)Unit 1第一节Step 1 Review 复习( 5 Minutes)Ricardian modelStep 2 Lead-in 新课导入( 10 Minutes)Do Land owners support the free trade policy when land is specific to the import-competingsector?Step 3 New Class Content 新课内容( 20 Minutes)The Specific Factors ModelAssumptions of the ModelBox: What is a Specific Factor?Production PossibilitiesPrices, Wages, and Labor AllocationRelative Prices and the Distribution of IncomeIStep 4 Practice 实践活动(10 Minutes)Group discussionStep 5 Summary总结( 5 Minutes)he analysis presented in the previous chapter, demonstrating unambiguous gains from trade, may leave students wondering why free trade is such a politically charged issue and why protectionism is so heatedly discussed in the press. The reason for this is that the debates concerning free trade focus on its distributional rather than its efficiency effects. A formal examination of these effects requires a model which has factors of production linked to producing certain goods. Two models of this nature are presented in this chapter.The first model includes factors of production which are inexorably tied to producing one and only one good. The particular example presented in the text involves winemakers and cheesemakers. The immobility of labor prevents equalization of wages. The production possibility frontier of this economy is a rectangle and the relative supply curve is a vertical line. An equilibrium relative price can be determined when the relative demand curve is specified.Consider the effect of introducing another country which can produce the same bundle of goods. The second economy shares the same production technology, but has different relative amounts of each type of labor. Trade between these two economies benefits each in the aggregate since the possible consumption set of each country expands. However, distributional issues arise when trade is permitted since workers in particular sectors may not gain from trade. There will be no gain for the labor in each economy which was relatively scarce prior to trade as compared to after trade. The type of labor relatively abundant in a country will gain from trade. The source of this effect is the movement in relative prices which favors the good which was relatively abundant in each country before trade. The general outcome is that trade benefits workers in the export sector of each country and hurts workers in the import-competing sector.Unit 2第二节Step 1 Review 复习( 5 Minutes)Ricardian modelStep 2 Lead-in 新课导入( 10 Minutes)Describe the specific factor model.Step 3 New Class Content 新课内容( 20 Minutes)International Trade in the Specific Factors ModelResources and Relative SupplyTrade and Relative PricesThe Pattern of TradeIncome Distribution and the Gains From TradeStep 4 Practice 实践活动(10 Minutes)Group discussionStep 5 Summary总结( 5 Minutes)Next, a more general model is presented to investigate the distributional effects of trade. This specific factors model allows an examination of the distributional effects of trade on factors inexorably tied to the production of a specific good as well as on a factor that can be used to produce either good. The three factors in this model include two specific factors, land and capital, as well as one inter-sectorally mobile factor, labor. The fixed amount of each specific factor results in diminishing returns to labor. The mobility of labor ensures an equal wage in the production of either good, and perfect competition ensureUnit 3第3节Step 1 Review 复习( 5 Minutes)Ricardian modelStep 2 Lead-in 新课导入( 10 Minutes)Do Land owners support the free trade policy when land is specific to the import-competing sector?Step 3 New Class Content 新课内容( 20 Minutes)The Political Economy of Trade: A Preliminary ViewOptimal Trade PolicyBox: Specific Factors and the Beginnings of Trade TheoryIncome Distribution and Trade PoliticsStep 4 Practice 实践活动(10 Minutes)(内容5号Times New Roman)Step 5 Summary总结( 5 Minutes)The models presented in this chapter provide a framework for a preliminary discussion of the political economy of trade. The general support for free trade among economists despite its income distributional effects is justified. One reason for this support is that the benefits of free trade are widely dispersed while its costs are concentrated. Economists may better serve the country as advocates for the general welfare since there is no shortage of advocates for particular groups injured by trade. The issue of the political economy of trade reappears throughout the book. An appendix provides further details on the specific factors mode.英文课程名称Chapter fourRESOURCES AND TRADE: THE HECHSCHER-OHLINMODEL(H-O定理)Unit 1第一节Step 1 Review 复习( 5 Minutes)The specific factors modelStep 2 Lead-in 新课导入( 10 Minutes)What is model of a Two-Factor Economy?Step 3 New Class Content 新课内容(70 Minutes)Ⅰ.A Model of a Two-Factor Economy (ⅰ)Assumptions of the Model ⅱ)Factor Prices and Goods Prices 1.The relationship between w/r and PC/PF 2.From PC/PF to T/L 3.Relative price and income distribution (ⅲ)Resources and Output 1.The allocation of resources 2.Resources change and outputs changeStep 4 Practice 实践活动( 10 Minutes)Group discussionStep 5 Summary总结( 5 Minutes)In Chapter 4, the Heckscher-Ohlin theory considers the pattern of production and trade which will arise when countries have different endowments of factors of production, such as labor, capital, and land. The basic point is that countries tend to export goods that are intensive in the factors with which they are abundantly supplied. Trade has strong effects on the relative earnings of resources, and tends to lead to equalization across countries of prices of the factors of production. These theoretical results and related empirical findings are presented in this chapter.Unit 2第二节Step 1 Review 复习( 5 Minutes)1.Describe the pattern of trade under H-O model.Step 2 Lead-in 新课导入( 10 Minutes)What's the income distribution effect of trade under H-O model?Step 3 New Class Content 新课内容(70 Minutes)Ⅱ.Effects of International Trade Between Two-Factor Economies (ⅰ)Relative Prices and the Pattern of Trade 1.Assumption 2.Relative supply for 2 countries and relative price of cloth in 2 countries 3.The pattern of trade Home is labor-abundant and foreign is land-abundant, So Home exports labor-intensive goods, Foreign exports land-intensive goods.

The assumption of fixed coefficient production functions provides an unambiguous ranking of goods in terms of factor intensities. (The appendix develops the model when the production functions have variable coefficients.) Two important results are derived using this model. The first is known as the Rybczynski effect. Increasing the relative supply of one factor, holding relative goods prices constant, leads to a biased expansion of production possibilities favoring the relative supply of the good which uses that factor intensively.The second key result is known as the Stolper-Samuelson effect. Increasing the relative price of a good, holding factor supplies constant, increases the return to the factor used intensively in the production of that good by more than the price increase, while lowering the return to the other factor. This result has important income distribution implications.It can be quite instructive to think of the effects of demographic/ labor force changes on the supply of different products. For example, how might the pattern of production during the productive years of the "Baby Boom" generation differ from the pattern of production for post Baby Boom generations. What does this imply for returns to factors and relative price behavior?The central message concerning trade patterns of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory is that countries tend to export goods whose production is intensive in factors with which they are relatively abundantly endowed. This is demonstrated by showing that, using the relative supply and relative demand analysis introduced in Chapter 2, the country relatively abundantly endowed with a certain factor will produce that factor more cheaply than the other country. International trade leads to a convergence of goods prices. Thus, the results from the Stolper-Samuelson Theory demonstrate that owners of a country's abundant factors gain from trade but owners of a country's scarce factors lose. The extension of this result is the important Factor Price Equalization Theorem, which states that trade in (and thus price equalization of) goods leads to an equalization in the rewards to factors across countries. The political implications of factor price equalization should be interesting to students.Unit 3第3节Step 1 Review 复习( 5 Minutes)Effects of International Trade Between Two-Factor Economies\Step 2 Lead-in 新课导入( 10 Minutes)How to explain The Leotief Paradox?Step 3 New Class Content 新课内容(70 Minutes)Ⅲ. Empirical evidence on H-O Model (i)The Leotief Paradox (ii) Other tests on H-O model Step 4 Practice 实践活动( 10 Minutes)Group discussionStep 5 Summary总结( 5 Minutes) IEmpirical results concerning the Heckscher-Ohlin theory, beginning with the Leontief paradox and extending to current research, do not support its predictions concerning resource endowments explaining patterns of trade. This observation has motivated many economists to consider motives for trade between nations that are not exclusively based on differences across countries. These concepts will be explored in later chapters. Despite these shortcomings, important and relevant results concerning income distribution are obtained from the Heckscher-Ohlin theory.英文课程名称Chapter FiveTHE STANDARD TRADE MODEL(标准贸易模型)Unit 1第1节Step 1 Review 复习( 5 Minutes)H-O ModelStep 2 Lead-in 新课导入( 10 Minutes)What's terms of trade?Step 3 New Class Content 新课内容(20 Minutes)Ⅰ.A Standard Model of a Trading Economy (ⅰ)Production Possibilities and Relative Supply 1.Isovalue line 2.The production point and the relative supply (ⅱ)Relative Prices and Demand 1.The relationship among production, consumption and trade 2.The relative price and the relative demand (ⅲ)The Welfare Effect of Changes in the Terms of Trade(ⅳ)Determining Relative PricesStep 4 Practice 实践活动( 10 Minutes)Group discussionStep 5 Summary总结( 5 Minutes)The standard trade model is based upon four relationships. First, an economy will produce at the point where the production possibilities curve is tangent to the relative price line (called the isovalue line). Second, indifference curves describe the tastes of an economy and the consumption point for that economy is found at the tangency of the budget line and the highest indifference curve. These two relationships yield the familiar general equilibrium trade diagram for a small economy (one which takes as given the terms of trade) where the consumption point and production point are the tangencies of the isovalue line with the highest indifference curve and the production possibilities frontier, respectively.You may want to work with this standard diagram to demonstrate a number of basic points. First, an autarkic economy must produce what it consumes, which determines the equilibrium price ratio; and second, opening an economy to trade shifts the price ratio line and unambiguously increases welfare. Third, an improvement in the terms of trade increases welfare in the economy. Fourth, it is straightforward to move from a small country analysis to a two country analysis by introducing a structure of world relative demand and supply curves which determine relative prices.These relationships can be used in conjunction with the Rybczynski and the Stolper-Samuelson Theorems from the previous chapter to address a range of issues. For example, you can consider whether the dramatic economic growth of countries like Japan and Korea has helped or hurt the United States as a whole, and also identify the classes of individuals within the United States who have been hurt by the particular growth biases of these countries. In teaching these points, it might be interesting and useful to relate them to current events. For example, you can lead a class discussion of the implications for the United States of the provision of forms of technical and economic assistance to the emerging economies around the world or the ways in which a world recession can lead to a fall in demand for U.S. export goods.The example provided in the text considers the popular arguments in the media that growth in Japan or Korea hurts the United States. The analysis presented in this chapter demonstrates thatthe bias of growth is important in determining welfare effects rather than the country in which growth occurs. The existence of biased growth, and the possibility of immiserizing growth is discussed. The Relative Supply (RS) and Relative Demand (RD) curves illustrate the effect of biased growth on the terms of trade. The new terms of trade line can be used with the general equilibrium analysis to find the welfare effects of growth. A general principle which emerges is that a country which experiences export-biased growth will have a deterioration in its terms of trade while a country which experiences import-biased growth has an improvement in its terms of trade. A case study points out that growth in the rest of the world has made other countries more like the United States. This import-biased growth has worsened the terms of trade for the United States.Unit 2第2节Step 1 Review 复习( 5 Minutes).A Standard Model of a Trading EconomyStep 2 Lead-in 新课导入( 10 Minutes)Discuss the terms of trade in China when cloth-biased growth happens in any country.

The salient point here is the direction, if any, in which the relative demand curve shifts in response to the redistribution of income from a transfer. A transfer worsens the donor's terms of trade if it has a higher marginal propensity to consume its export good than the recipient. The presence of non-traded goods tends to reinforce the deterioration of terms of trade for the donor country. The case study attendant to this issue involves the deterioration of many Asian countries’ terms of trade due to the large capital withdrawals at the end of the 1990s.Unit 3第3节Step 1 Review 复习( 5 Minutes)the effects of international transfers.Step 2 Lead-in 新课导入( 10 Minutes)How is the terms of trade for a large country when this country imposes a tariff?Step 3 New Class Content 新课内容(20 Minutes)Ⅲ.International Transfers of Income: Shifting the RD Curve (ⅰ)The Transfer Problem Debate on The international transfer (ⅱ)Effects of a Transfer on the Terms of Trade 1.

(ⅱ)Effects of an Export Subsidy A home export subsidy worsens home's terms of trade and improves foreign's. (ⅲ)Implications of Terms of Trade EffectsStep 4 Practice 实践活动( 10 Minutes)Group discussionStep 5 Summary总结( 5 Minutes)The third area to which the standard trade model is applied are the effects of tariffs and export subsidies on welfare and terms of trade. The analysis proceeds by recognizing that tariffs or subsidies shift both the relative supply and relative demand curves. A tariff on imports improves the terms of trade, expressed in external prices, while a subsidy on exports worsens terms of trade. The size of the effect depends upon the size of the country in the world. Tariffs and subsidies also impose distortionary costs upon the economy. Thus, if a country is large enough, there may be an optimum, non-zero tariff. Export subsidies, however, only impose costs upon an economy. Intranationally, tariffs aid import-competing sectors and hurt export sectors while subsidies have the opposite effect. An appendix presents offer curve diagrams and explains this mode of analysis.英文课程名称Chapter 6ECONOMIES OF SCALE, IMPERFECT COMPETITION,AND INTERNATIONAL(规模经济和不完全竞争)Unit 1第一节Step 1 Review 复习( 5 Minutes)Standard modelStep 2 Lead-in 新课导入( 10 Minutes)What's terms of trade?Step 3 New Class Content 新课内容(20 Minutes)Economies of Scale and International Trade: An OverviewEconomies of Scale and Market StructureThe Theory of Imperfect CompetitionMonopoly: A Brief ReviewMonopolistic CompetitionLimitations of the Monopolistic Competition ModelStep 4 Practice 实践活动( 10 Minutes)Group discussionStep 5 Summary总结( 5 Minutes)In previous chapters, trade between nations was motivated by their differences in factor productivity or relative factor endowments. The type of trade which occurred, for example of food for manufactures, is based on comparative advantage and is called interindustry trade. This chapter introduces trade based on economies of scale in production. Such trade in similar productions is called intraindustry trade, and describes, for example, the trading of one type of manufactured good for another type of manufactured good. It is shown that trade can occur when there are no technological or endowment differences, but when there are economies of scale or increasing returns in production.Economies of scale can either take the form of 1) external economies whereby the cost per unit depends on the size of the industry but not necessarily on the size of the firm; or as 2) internal economies, whereby the production cost per unit of output depends on the size of the individual firm but not necessarily on the size of the industry. Internal economies of scale give rise to imperfectly competitive markets, unlike the perfectly competitive market structures that were assumed to exist in earlier chapters. This motivates the review of models of imperfect competition, including monopoly and monopolistic competition. The instructor should spend some time making certain that students understand the equilibrium concepts of these models since they are important for the justification of intraindustry trade.Unit 2第二节Step 1 Review 复习( 5 Minutes)Standard modelStep 2 Lead-in 新课导入( 10 Minutes)What's terms of trade?Step 3 New Class Content 新课内容(20 Minutes)Monopolistic Competition and TradeThe Effects of Increased Market SizeGains from an Integrated Market: A Numerical ExampleEconomies of Scale and Comparative AdvantageThe Significance of Intraindustry TradeWhy Intraindustry Trade MattersCase Study: Intraindustry Trade in Action: The North American Auto Pact。

国际经济学教学的主要目标是培养学生应用经济学的分析方法,掌握开放条件下经济学的基本理论,能够应用理论观察和分析国际经济问题。

为学生后续课程的学习打下坚实理论基础。

2009年《国际经济学》双语教学项目被教育部教学质量工程评为国家级双语示范课程,全英文教学目前面向经济学院国际经济与贸易专业的国际班开设。

International economics is one of major course for the economics-major students require by China’s Ministry of Education, which consists open microeconomics and macroeconomics. The instruction of international economics plays very important role in building up the way of thinking as an economist for the learners, improving the comprehensive aptitudes and abilities. The expected outcomes of this subject is to develop the learners to apply the economic methodology, grasp the basic open economics, and enable the learners to observe and analyze the international economic issues, and then make a solid preparation for the fellow-up subjects in the teachingprogram. In 2009, this course was selected as the national bilingual teaching experimental course by China’s Ministry of Educ ation.二、教学内容及其与毕业要求的对应关系(一)教学内容本课程的主要内容是阐述国际经济学的基础知识。

国际经济学课程全英文教学探索'国际学课程全英文教学探索国际经济学(International Economics)是经济学(Economics)在国际领域的拓展。

在中国高等院校学科分类中,经济学被分为理论经济学和经济学。

世界经济属于理论经济学,国际贸易学属于应用经济学。

国际经济学没有被单独分类,主要涉及世界经济和国际贸易学两个二级学科。

大多数文科院校和一些工科院校都设置国际经济与贸易专业,培养涉外经贸人才。

除了国际经贸专业,经济学、金融学、国际商务、商务等专业都开设国际经济学这门课程,将它作为专业基础课或专业课程。

由于很多课程内容涉及西方理论,为适应新形势,培养既懂专业知识又能熟练运用外语的复合型人才,国际经济学的课堂教学一般采用双语教学甚至全英文教学。

其中,全英文教学难度很大,对母语是中文的学生和对教师都是一个挑战。

但是,如果教师能够掌握合适的教学方法,并注意处理好若干方面的问本文由联盟收集整理题,就能够取得良好教学效果。

一、全英文教学的意义国际经济学来源于西方,许多英美学者在该领域作出了巨大贡献。

如英国人大卫·李嘉图,美国人保罗·萨缪尔森、保罗·克鲁格曼等,许多研究成果都是用英文撰写,如沃西里·里昂惕夫的成果。

采用英文教学能够最大限度地挖掘相关论著的内涵,比中文教学更细致地向学生展现国际经济学知识。

如“sterilization”一词的含义,许多中文或翻译教材“冲销”,少数教材写作“中和”。

但中文中,冲销不是常用词汇,中和也不能完全体现它的含义,但可以直接通过该英文单词的构成来判明词义。

该词的词根是sterilize(使不起作用),演变为sterilization后,是名词形式的“使不起作用”,这比“冲销”更容易被理解。

全英文讲授国际经济学,不使用任何中文,使学生接受与英美学生相同的教学,能够巩固和提高学生的英语运用能力。

学生直接学习英文术语和句子,避免译文的不准确性和不贴切性,有利于学生将来适应全英文,便于出国深造和从事对外经贸往来业务。

保罗克鲁格曼国际经济学英⽂课件1-7章Preface§1. Some distinctive features of International Economics: Theory and Policy.This book emphasizes several of the newer topics that previous authors failed to treat in a systematic way:·Asset market approach to exchange rate determination.·Increasing returns and market structure.·Politics and theory of trade policy.·International macroeconomic policy coordination·The word capital market and developing countries.·International factor movements.§2. Learning features:·Case studies·Special boxes·Captioned diagrams·Summary and key terms·Problems·Further reading§3.Reference books:·[美]保罗?克鲁格曼,茅瑞斯?奥伯斯法尔德,《国际经济学》,第6版,中译本,中国⼈民⼤学出版社,2007.·李坤望主编,《国际经济学》,第⼆版,⾼等教育出版社,2005.·Dominick Salvatore, International Economics, Prentice Hall International,第9版,清华⼤学出版社,英⽂版,2008. Chapter 1Introduction·Nations are more closely linked through trade in goods and services, through flows of money, and through investment than ever before.§1. What is international economics about?Seven themes recur throughout the study of international economics:·The gains from trade(National welfare and income distribution)·The pattern of trade·Protectionism·The balance of payments·Exchange rate determination·International capital market§2. International economics: trade and money·Part I (chapters 2 through 7) :international trade theory·Part II (chapters 8 through 11) : international trade policy ·Part III (chapters 12 through 17) : international monetary theory ·Part IV (chapters 18 through 22) : international monetary policyChapter 2 World Trade: An Overview§1 Who Trades with Whom?1. Size Matters: The Gravity ModelThe size of an economy is directly related to the volume of imports and exports.Larger economies produce more goods and services, so they have more to sell in the export market. Larger economies generate more income from the goods and services sold, so people are able to buy more imports.3 of the top 10 trading partners with the US in 2003 were also the 3 largest European economies: Germany, UK and France. These countries have the largest gross domestic product (GDP) in Europe.Cultural affinity: if two countries have cultural ties, it is likely that they also have strong economic ties.Geography: ocean harbors and a lack of mountain barriers make transportation and tradeeasier.2. Distance Matters: The Gravity ModelDistance between markets influences transportation costs and therefore the cost of imports and exports. Distance may also influence personal contact and communication, which may influence trade.Estimates of the effect of distance from the gravity model predict that a 1% increase in the distance between countries isassociated with a decrease in the volume of trade of 0.7% to 1%.Borders: crossing borders involves formalities that take time and perhaps monetary costs like tariffs. These implicit and explicit costs reduce trade. The existence of borders may also indicate the existence of different languages or different currencies, either of which may impede trade more.3.The gravity modelThe gravity model is:a b c ij i j ijT A Y Y D =?? where a, b, and c are allowed to differ from 1.§2. The Changing Composition of Trade1. Has the World Become “Smaller ”?There were two waves of globalization.1840–1914: economies relied on steam power, railroads, telegraph, telephones. Globalization was interrupted and reversed by wars and depression.1945–present: economies rely on telephones, airplanes, computers, internet, fiber optics,…2. Changing Composition of TradeToday, most of the volume of trade is in manufactured products such as automobiles, computers, clothing and machinery. Services such as shipping, insurance, legal fees and spending by tourists account for 20% of the volume of trade.Mineral products (e.g., petroleum, coal, copper) and agricultural products are a relatively small part of trade.Multinational Corporations and OutsourcingBefore 1945, multinational corporations played a small role world trade.But today about one third of all US exports and 42% of all US imports are sales from one division of a multinational corporation to another.Chapter 3Labor Productivity and Comparative Advantage:The Ricardian Model*Countries engage in international trade for two basic reasons:·Comparative advantage: countries are different in technology (chapter 3) or resource (chapter 4).·Economics of scale (chapter 6).*All motives are at work in the real world but only one motive is present in each trade model.§1. The concept of comparative advantage1. Opportunity cost : The opportunity cost of roses in terms of computers is the number of computers that could have been produced with the resources used to produce a given number of roses.Table 3-1 Hypothetical Changes in Production Million Roses Thousand Computers United States-10 +100 South America+10 -30 Total 0 +702. Comparative advantage : A country has a comparative advantage in producing a good if the opportunity cost of producing that good in terms of other goods is lower in that country than it is in other countries.·Denoted by opportunity cost.·A relative concept : relative labor productivity or relative abundance.3. The pattern of trade: Trade between two countries can benefit both countries if each country exports the goods in which it has a comparative advantage.§2. A one-factor economy1.production possibilities: LC C LW W a Q a Q L +≤Figure 3-1 Home’s Production Possibility Frontier2. Relative price and supply·Labor will move to the sector which pays higher wage.·If C W LC LW P P a a >(C LC W LW P a P a >, wage in the cheese sector is higher ), the economy will specialize in the production of cheese.·In a closed economy, C W LC LW P P a a =.·If each country has absolute advantage in one good respectively, will there exist comparative advantage?§3. Trade in a one-factor world·Model : 2×1×2·Assume: **LC LW LC LW a a a a <Home has a comparative advantage in cheese.Home ’s relative productivity in cheese is higher.Home ’s pretrade relative price of cheese is lower than foreign.·The condition under which home has the comparative advantage involves all four unit labor requirement, not just two.1.

Are there income distribution effects within countries? )3. A numerical example:·Two crucial points :When two countries specialize in producing the goods in which they have a comparative advantage, both countries gain from trade.Comparative advantage must not be confused with absolute advantage; it is comparative, not absolute, advantage that determines who will and should produce a good.Table 3-2 Unit Labor Requirements Cheese WineHome 1LC a = hour per pound 2LW a = hours per gallonForeign*6LC a = hours per pound *3LW a = hours per gallon absolute advantage; relative price; specialization; the gains from trade.4.

国际经济学课程全英文教学国际经济学(International Economics)是经济学(Economics)在国际领域的拓展。

在中国高等院校学科分类中,经济学被分为理论经济学和应用经济学。

世界经济属于理论经济学,国际贸易学属于应用经济学。

国际经济学没有被单独分类,主要涉及世界经济和国际贸易学两个二级学科。

大多数文科院校和一些工科院校都设置国际经济与贸易专业,培养涉外经贸人才。

除了国际经贸专业,经济学、金融学、国际商务、商务英语等专业都开设国际经济学这门课程,将它作为专业基础课或专业课程。

由于很多课程内容涉及西方理论,为适应新形势,培养既懂专业知识又能熟练运用外语的复合型人才,国际经济学的课堂教学一般采用双语教学甚至全英文教学。

其中,全英文教学难度很大,对母语是中文的学生和对教师都是一个挑战。

但是,如果教师能够掌握合适的教学方法,并注意处理好若干方面的问题,就能够取得良好教学效果。

一、全英文教学的意义国际经济学来源于西方,许多英美学者在该领域作出了巨大贡献。

如英国人大卫·李嘉图,美国人保罗·萨缪尔森、保罗·克鲁格曼等,许多研究成果都是用英文撰写,如沃西里·里昂惕夫的成果。

采用英文教学能够最大限度地挖掘相关论着的内涵,比中文教学更细致地向学生展现国际经济学知识。

如“sterilization”一词的含义,许多中文或翻译教材写作“冲销”,少数教材写作“中和”。

但中文中,冲销不是常用词汇,中和也不能完全体现它的含义,但可以直接通过该英文单词的构成来判明词义。

该词的词根是sterilize(使不起作用),演变为sterilization后,是名词形式的“使不起作用”,这比“冲销”更容易被理解。

全英文讲授国际经济学,不使用任何中文,使学生接受与英美学生相同的教学,能够巩固和提高学生的英语运用能力。

学生直接学习英文术语和句子,避免译文的不准确性和不贴切性,有利于学生将来适应全英文环境,便于出国深造和从事对外经贸往来业务。

二、全英文教学和双语教学的差异双语教学指教学中既使用中文,又使用英文,但是英文和中文的比例没有定论。

有的院校采用英文教材,中文授课;有的则采用双语教材,中英文混合授课。

教师需要针对学生的接受能力,斟酌该多讲中文还是英文。

由于教师要最大限度地让学生听懂,因此,在很多词、句的解释上还是采用中文。

这样,中文的比重就会增加。

而全英文教学抛开了中英文比例问题,在课程讲授、使用教材、制作课件、考核提问和作答上全部采用英文,避免了两种完全不同的语言冲突,使学生省去转换语感的过程,大大提高了英文讲授的效果。

由于讲授、教材、课件和试题均采用英文,可能导致学生对中文术语不熟悉,但由于经济学绝大部分中文术语都是翻译过来的,即使将来遇到中文术语,学生只需稍加思考便能联想到学过的对应英文术语。

而对于人名,译名当然不如英文原名。

相对于双语教学,全英文教学对教师和学生的要求也更高。

全英文教学要求教师和学生具有较高的英语水平,尤其是教师的口语能力和学生的看听能力。

教师从教材选择、课件制作、讲授内容、布置练习题到考核全部要以英文形式,这一系列环节要求教师有较大的阅读量和流利的口语水平。

口语如此重要是因为课堂教授构成教学的主要部分,而教师如果做不到用英语讲授和交谈,就难以达到无障碍授业的要求。

对学生来说,英语水平至少要达到大学英语四级水平,尤其听力要达到相当的水平,才能听懂教师的讲述。

并且要求掌握一定数量的专业词汇。

如果对许多单词和短语不熟悉,那么学生即使听到了也不懂其含义,同样达不到理想的教学效果。

三、全英文教学需要注意的问题与对策全英文教学依然采用与一般教学相同的环节,如讲授、提问、复习、测验、最终考核,但是由于使用纯英文讲授,所以在教和学的过程中,将遇到与普通教学不同的情况,如不妥善处理将影响教学质量。

下面将教师需要注意的一些问题归纳如下:(一)加强教师英语口语发音的标准化语言是交流的工具。

在汉语教学中,高等院校教师的普通话水平一般要求达到二级乙等水平,要求尽量做到发音标准,词语、语法正确,语调自然,表达流畅。

在英语教学中,中国教师不会像外国教师那样受到英语方言的干扰,却可能遇到其他一些问题,例如发音的标准问题。

许多教师受到地方方言的干扰而不能正确地发音,在词和句的表达上也有许多不标准之处。

中文普通话以北京的方言为标准,而英语却有两个标准,一个是以英格兰地区的语言为标准的英式英语,另一个是以北美地区的语言为标准的美式英语。

两者之间在词和句的惯用表达和发音上都有差别,尤其是发音差别很大。

美式英语大部分的元音发音都和英式英语不同,加上英式英语句子表达上注重抑扬顿挫,两者就好像两个地区的方言一样,虽然可以相同的文字表达出来,但在语调、语音上存在相当大的差别。

中国中小学的英语教学一般以英式英语为主,有少量美式英语,但在大学英语教学中,不管是听力、口语、阅读,还是写作,都引入了大量的美式英语材料,对学生来说,既要学习英式英语,也要学习美式英语,两者都重要。

对教授这些学生的专业课教师来说,口音应该以一种英语为主,兼容另一种。

不管哪一种,都应发音标准,在教学中使用习惯语法并表达清晰无误的词和句子。

虽然不要生以教师的发音为标准,但应尽量适应该发音。

(二)注重课前预热,培养学生的英语语感教师在上课之前,最好抽出五分钟时间与学生聊聊最近的一些新闻然后回顾上一次课所讲的主要内容。

这五分钟属于课堂准备阶段,内容选择虽然比较随意,但是却很重要。

因为学生长期处于中文环境下,他们往往不适应突如其来的英文讲述。

如果语速较快,会使有些学生根本听不懂。

许多学生在听了5~10分钟的英语后才渐入佳境。

因此,没有必要在上课刚开始时就急于讲授课程内容。

在这5分钟的预热阶段,可以先谈谈学生感兴趣的话题,如放假、运动会、音乐、电影等,话题力求有吸引力,词语和句式应尽量简单。

最后可以简单复习上一次课的内容,把学生逐渐引入一个全英文的经济学世界。

这样,学生将以最佳的状态学习课程的主要内容。

(三)对特殊单词和短语教师应详细讲解国际经济学课程中会出现许多日常少用的单词,有的单词在教材中也没有给出解释,如hybrid(混合)。

有的单词学生没有学过,有的学生虽然见过但不完全知晓其含义,尤其不知道在教材中的意思。

因此,教师有必要在讲授中停下来解释该词或者短语的意思。

该解释过程很重要,可以避免学生因不理解单词而影响听课的情况。

即使学生懂得某单词或短语,用英文再解释一遍也能够加深学生的记忆。

一些短语教材只给出一定的解释,对此教师可以更详细地进一步解释。

如ad valorem tariff(从价关税),ad valorem是拉丁文,ad表示according to,valorem的意思可以理解为value。

教师如能这样解释一下,将给学生留下深刻的记忆,使之很难忘记该短语。

当然,教师在备课时应查阅大量资料以便正确解释其涵义,因为一般词典也没有提供关于这些短语的适当解释。

(四)纠正学生用母语思考的习惯有些学生有将英文翻译成中文再理解的习惯,这种习惯将拖延学习速度,造成对英文语感的破坏。

其实没有必要刻意将英文翻译成中文,只要懂英文意思就可以了。

并且为了保证教学速度,教师应该禁止在课堂上使用任何中文,哪怕是一些比较难理解的句子或段落。

这是全英文教学和双语教学之间的一个明显区别。

要想保持合理的教学进程和良好的教学效果,就要培养学生良好的学习习惯。

不管多难解释的内容,教师也不应该使用中文,可以用若干简单的英文句子来解释,直到学生明白为止。

虽然简短的一句中文可能达到“解惑”的目的,但它会破坏学生的英语语感,使学生更依赖于中文,不再独立使用英文,这将给以后的教学带来更大困难。

(五)适当引入中国的案例国际经济学课程最普遍使用的英文教材是诺贝尔经济学奖获得者保罗·克鲁格曼和茅瑞斯·奥伯斯法尔德编写的教材,其他教材如多米尼克·萨尔瓦多编写的也不错。

外国教师编写的教材虽好,却不完全适用于中国学生。

因为中国学生不熟悉教材中的案例和相关理论所基于的假设。

编者想激发学生兴趣的苦心却因为中国学生不熟悉美国经济、不了解欧盟或墨西哥、不懂美国联邦储备、不认得雷诺等汽车品牌而无法达到预期效果。

但是,教师却可以一些中国的案例来替代教材中的案例,同样能达到很好的效果,如关于中国巨额外汇储备等。

在理论学习中,英文教材通常以本国是资本丰裕型国家为假设条件,但在中国课堂中,谈谈国际贸易给劳动丰裕型国家带来的影响也许效果更好。

(六)合理设置考试题型全英文课程的考核应该采用全英文形式,但题型应该有别于其他课程,主要应依据学生的实际能力。

如果大部分学生能够听懂并且能用英文表述出来,那么可设置一定数量的计算题和问答题,甚至可设案例分析题。

如果在平时测验中发现学生能够听懂教师讲的大部分内容,但英文表达能力还达不到一定水平,那么问答题的分值就不要太多,可设置一些判断题和选择题,再设置少量主观题拉开分数差距。

毕竟外语课程不同于母语课程,学生在用外语作答时不可能达到用母语作答时的流利程度,更不可能如同等水平的外国高校学生那样答题。

因此,教师出题时应该充分考虑学生的实际水平,试卷难度应适当。

四、结语国际经济学的内容大部分来源于西方,使用全英文教学具有很重要的意义,并且比双语教学具有更突出的优势,同时也给教师和学生带来更大的挑战。

在全英文教学中,教师应该注意以下问题:第一,在英式英语和美式英语的选择上,教师应该确定以某一种为标准,做到发音清晰和遣词造句无误。

第二,在上课之前,可以抽出五分钟左右的时间让学生预热,逐渐适应全英文专业知识的讲授。

第三,教师在备课时对一些内涵丰富的单词应该详加分析。

第四,在阅读外文材料时,将外文翻译成中文再理解的习惯将拖延阅读速度,造成对外文语感的破坏,英文也不例外。

教师应该及时纠正学生这种不好的习惯,鼓励养成正确的学习方法。

第五,对于一些学生不熟悉的国外案例,教师可以适当替换,多添加中国的案例,以激发学生的兴趣,使理论更能实际。

第六,教师需依据学生的实际水平确定考核的形式和难度,使考试能够较充分体现学生的水平。

总之,只要教师达到一定英语和专业水平,掌握正确的教授方法,并注意以上一些问题,全英文讲授国际经济学可以顺利进行并取得良好的教学效果。
